Once again I have a hard time believing what I saw--- the "polls" segment. I don't even know who that guy is.

The first comment on twitter has it right though, they seem to think if you ignore the facts, those facts could go away.

So strange, by this time I'm of the view Trump knows full well he'll lose, and is going full on scorched earth. The comments on not even trusting intelligence? Ask hard questions sure, but they're spending billions on intelligence annually and Trump rejects it out of hand?

I can't stop watching just for the weird eyebrow thing. And the awkward pause.

The guy in the polls bit sounds like a mafia tool from a bad movie.

The depressing part is this is the last time we can expect this kind of entertainment. Enjoy it until November, because after this barn burning there is no way either party will ever allow another Trump to be their nominee.

My biggest fear with the Trump campaign is he can't get any lower. He's pretty much gone as low as he can go this early on. People don't expect much if anything now. With so much time left, perhaps it only takes a minor October surprise against Hillary coupled with Trump's campaign lifting itself up, even a fraction above its lowest point, to send him to victory.

Nah. He can go lower. And he won't win.

I'm pretty sure I would be okay with that.

Yeah I've been half-expecting a total tailspin in support. People tend to abandon perceived losers and pile on them pretty quickly. If the storyline of "Trump is an incompetent loser" starts to gain any ground in the Republican social bubble, this election could get really ugly.

Mike Wallace: [ holds out paper ] This is an affadavit..

Nathan Thurm: I know that!

Mike Wallace: Well, let me finish. This is an affidavit from a woman who has severe nerve damage, on her upper thigh, from sitting on one of your defective whoopie cushions. Here, read it.

Nathan Thurm: You read it!

Mike Wallace: Well, I have read it.

Nathan Thurm: So, why do I have to read it?

Mike Wallace: Well, it does pertain to your company.

Nathan Thurm: I know that! Why wouldn't I know that? It's my company, I'm quite aware of that! [ looks at the camera ] Is it me? It's him, right?

Ok, I know internet based hyperbole is way too common today, but I think this may be my favourite clip from this election cycle, and it's up against some major competition.

Holy #### that was hilarious.

This story just keeps getting better:

Quote:
Cohen told Yahoo News he was stunned by Keilar’s conduct during the interview.

“I was shocked at the length of the silence as she stumbled to think of an answer,” Cohen said. “And when she did come up with an answer, it was so generic it could have applied to anything.”

Keilar continued her broadcast for over an hour after her discussion with Cohen. During one of the commercial breaks, she sent Yahoo News a response to his review of the interview.

“Can you just embed the video in your story? My reaction is that people can watch and decide for themselves,” Keilar said.

In his conversation with Yahoo, Cohen also said he does not trust the polls Keilar referenced during the broadcast.

“I completely disagree with the polling information,” said Cohen.

You think Fox is bad, wander over to Breitbart. They make Fox look like Cronkite-Era CBS.
